Illinois Shotgun-Ban Bill Passes Senate Committee
www.ussportsmen.org ^ | USSA

Posted on 03/27/2003 8:40:41 PM PST by cherry_bomb88

Senate Bill 1195 (SB 1195), sponsored by Illinois Democratic Sen. Antonio Munoz, bans any shotgun that has a bore of .50 caliber or more. It outlaws 10, 12, 16, 20 and 28 gauge shotguns and even muzzleloaders. The bill passed the Senate Judiciary Committee by a vote of 6-4 and now awaits a vote on the Senate floor.

The U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance (USSA) says even if the clause imposing bore restrictions is fixed, SB 1195 bans any shotgun that has threads inside the end of the barrel. The USSA says that means any shotgun with choke tubes would be illegal. The bill also bans shotguns with a magazine capacity of more than four shells. Illinois citizens would have 90 days to turn in their guns to authorities or face prosecution.

The USSA is encouraging sportsmen to contact their senators and ask them to oppose SB 1195. To find the name of your legislator, call (217) 782-8223 or click on the "Legislative Action Center" link near the bottom, right-hand corner of the USSA Web site, www.ussportsmen.org.

Notice how they may use the Firearm Owner Identification cards to track every gun owner down in the state of Illinois? Registration always eventually leads to confiscation.

Sadly they can do the same thing with concealed weapon permits.

The real question is why don't the Illinois gunowners vote for Freedom?

Because many (not all) are also union members who vote lock step democrat.

I emailed the lobbyist at my work to see what he thought the chances of this going through are...he hasn't given me an official response, but apparently some of that language (the shotgun language) was SNUCK onto the bill (gee, imagine that).

the title of my email to him was "is this senator on crack????"

Thanks.

I love their work and I'm on "The Highroad" quite a bit. Just not as much as FR.

I also forgot to mention her Mateba is chambered in .357.

This is a product of the 19th amendment. As was Bill Clinton.

Relax. I'm sure the NRA will be there to work out a compromise where you have 180 days to turn them in.
